#2 Zlatan cannot stop scoring
Trending
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been scoring the bulk of United’s goals this season and he didn’t disappoint the away fans this time either, opening the scoring at the Stadium of Light with a fantastic strike. An overlapping run by Luke Shaw allowed Zlatan to bend inside, set himself and unleash a curler to beat goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on the bounce and into the bottom corner to break the deadlock.
After a lack of incisiveness from United, it needed individual brilliance to settle the nerves. Zlatan’s overall performance was creditable, holding up the ball in the attacking third – as he has been doing all season – and ensuring his side keep possession in order to open a goal-scoring chance.
Against a vulnerable Black Cats’ defence, Zlatan delivered a professional performance to help United keep their top-4 hopes in the balance.
